Thanksgiving 2013 – A Year of Firsts

by Papa K on December 2, 2013

Lots of firsts this year for our Thanksgiving celebration.

Lauren enjoying her first Thanksgiving.

Mommy cooking her first Thanksgiving turkey.

Daddy spending his first Thanksgiving away from Boston ever!

Since we were just in Boston for Auntie Elyssa and Uncle Stephen’s wedding, we decided to stay in California and Grandma and Papa Boston came out to celebrate with us. We rented a wonderful house in Santa Rosa and set about making it a Thanksgiving to remember.

While Mommy cooked the food, Maile Girl focused on the table decorations.

Mommy cooked it and Daddy carved it - and it came out great!

Lauren wasn't feeling 100%, but she still was excited to get involved with Thanksgiving (and Mommy made sure she had turkey too...)
